Hello, blog readers! I’ve actually lifted my head from my mass media law textbook to show some long-overdue TLC to The Darcy Diaries. The countdown to graduation is just about as nail-biting as it gets, but I’m remaining optimistic as I keep my eyes peeled for post-grad opportunities and soak up my (numbered) months of […]
I recently returned to swampy Florida from my bagel-filled summer in New York City, and there’s so much to unpack — aside from my hefty duffel bags of clothes, that is. This summer, I spent two months as an intern for The Style Line and its agency CONNECT(ED)ITORIAL. From photoshoots on brownstone-lined Brooklyn streets to inspiring […]
Hello from the corner of junior and senior year! I’m in disbelief that, aside from an exam (and just a couple more papers), I’ve completed my third year at UF. My good friend Marla, who’s been studying in Denmark all semester, recently wrote a blog post where she talked about how hindsight is 20/20. In […]
When I was little, I had a Barbie music box that played an instrumental version of a Simon & Garfunkel song, “The 59th Street Bridge Song” (also known as “Feelin’ Groovy”). Of course, when I was 6 or 7 or however old I was when I fell asleep to the lazy tune and semi-creepy spinning […]
On a rainy day in 2004, I went on what I thought was a typical movie date with my mom (aka the best kind of movie date there is) to the Sandusky State Theater (which smelled like mothballs and typically hosted obscure cover bands, but sometimes showed movies). That rainy movie day turned out to […]
Hello from the corner of happy and humid! I’m back in Gainesville for year three, and though it’s just the beginning of the semester, there’s already lots of work to be done and stories to be told. Speaking of beginnings, about two years ago, I wrote my first blog post as a freshman at UF. […]
The past few weeks in Boston have brought lots of writing, editing, exploring and intern adventures. Here’s what I’ve been up to, what I’m thinking about, working on and looking forward to! My days at the Her Campus office are very busy—and so much fun. Every day is a little different depending on my schedule […]
If my life were a movie, this would be the overly dramatic punchline: “After months of mental preparation, 20-year-old college girl from Florida arrives in Boston with three duffel bags of Space Bag-sealed clothes, her laptop and a dream.” Okay, key phrase: overly dramatic. Since my life isn’t a movie and I don’t go about […]
When I was little, I had a lot of favorite bedtime stories (i.e. “Harold and the Purple Crayon”, “Little Blue and Little Yellow” and many more) – but one of my all-time favorites was “What Mommies Do Best” (which, when you flipped it over, was also “What Daddies Do Best”). The book featured illustrations of different mother/child scenarios – i.e. “Mommies can […]
Two years ago, I was a high school senior on the cusp of graduation and a whole lot of new beginnings. Now, I am less than two weeks away from being a rising junior (!!!) on the cusp of so much more than I can imagine as I write this. With my sophomore year at the […]
